Trocadero

Trocadero is a district of Paris, France, located across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. The place was named in honor of the 31 August 1823 Battle of Trocadero, in which French troops defeated the Spanish Trienio Liberal's forces during France's intervention in Spain's civil war. For the 1878 World's Fair, the Palais du Trocadero was built. On 23 June 1940, Adolf Hitler, Albert Speer, and Arno Breker posed at the Trocadero in a famous photo that symbolized the German occupation of Paris.
